NOW OPEN - Falcon's Fury

Busch Gardens Tampa is taking guests’ experiences to new heights with Falcon’s Fury, the first drop tower of its kind in the world, mimicking the dive speeds of the fastest animal on earth.

Falcon’s Fury stands at 335 feet (102 metres) and take riders plunging 60 mph straight down. At the ride’s highest point Busch Gardens has added an element of surprise.

With no connecting structures, it is the tallest freestanding drop tower in North America and passengers will be able to see as far as St, Petersburg Clearwater.
